“What would you do if you won the lottery?”
 
It’s a common question asked around water coolers and meal tables across the country. For me, my answer was simple: open up my own CrossFit Gym.
 
But of course, that would mean leaving a steady and comfortable job as an actuary, a profession I had spent over 3,000 hours of undergraduate, graduate, and licensing study hours. Being an actuary was low-stress, played to my strengths with math, and paid well. So why ever leave? Eventually, I recognized what I thought was a reoccurring daydream for what it was: guidance from God.
 
So, just a few years ago, I left my steady paycheck and, with the support of my family, took the plunge and opened CrossFit Goose Creek in Berry Farms.

Running CrossFit Goose Creek has not only meant going to work at a passion project every day, but it’s also meant doing something that helps others.
